I found this in The Darwin Awards II, and I thought y'all might find it entertaining and/or informative.
A terrible diet and a room with no ventilation were blamed for the death of a man killed by his own gas. There were no marks found on his body, but an autopsy revealed the presence of large amounts of methane dissolved in his blood.
His diet had consisted primarily of beans and cabbage, just the right combination of foods to produce a severe gas attack. It appeared that the man died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed.
Had his windows been open, the flatulence wouldn't have been fatal, but they were sealed shut to create a nearly airtight bedroom. He was an obese man with an unlimited capacity for creating methane gas, and a deadly disregard for proper ventilation.

I don't know, maybe I should have posted this in the medical forum?

I stumbled across this one on, I think, Rotton a while back. At the time, I wondered if DA would pick up on it. I almost submitted it myself. Haven't checked DA in a while.
Hmm. I wonder if this was not a particularly inovative means of suicide. Perhaps he was hoping to take some people with him  ....?
Beans & cabbage, with a nice, big smoked hock, and some green chilis, is good, but don't plan on any social activity for a while. Not even the biker bar will want you.
